Pitch Report:
Early in the game the pitch at Eden Gardens displays a solid fast-bowling surface which gives consistent bounce. The shorter boundaries will benefit batters in this match but the surface is likely to become slower during the second half of the contest. The conditions are likely to become more favorable for teams batting second due to the development of dew. Spin bowling talent will become more prominent throughout the match duration.
